Chapter 752

~7 min read 1,325 words

Stone Platform City!

Above the Dream-Building Square.

In the void, those Demon Emperors hiding in space were suddenly in a panic.

"It's broken!" Kongkong Yao Di was shocked and said: "The array... the Dream-Building Array seems to have lost control!"

"No!" Zhao Xiangdu shook his head: "It hasn't lost control, but the three Great Emperors have encountered some situation and have also fallen into a deep sleep, becoming those who have entered the world!"

"Ah?"

When Zhao Xiangdu said this, all the Great Emperors looked surprised.

Great Emperors can also fall into a deep sleep.

"This... this..." A White Tiger clan Demon Emperor asked stutteringly: "Then what should be done?"

"No worries!" A Demon Emperor of the Phoenix race said: "This Dream-Building Array will not harm the prodigies or the Great Emperors; it is just sleep, no big deal!"

"Let the three of them enter and exit the world together with the other prodigies, hehehe... don't say, it's quite interesting. Even I can't help but want to see what kind of wonderful scene this will be!"

"Amitabha!" Within the Buddhist sect, another Buddha Emperor bowed to the crowd with one hand, chanted a Buddha name, and said: "This old monk feels it is best if a few Demon Emperors go over and pull Mingwang, Jin Gang, and my Wang Shixiong out of the dreamscape!"

"Otherwise, if something unseemly happens in this dreamscape and ruins their state of mind, what then?"

It wouldn't matter for others.

But the Buddhist sect is a bit different.

The Buddha Emperor is famous for being a person of quietude and non-action, devoted to the Buddha. If he were to get married and have children in the mortal world, that would be a huge joke.

"Hahaha..." The Phoenix race Demon Emperor laughed loudly and said: "No worries, no worries... In my opinion, there is no need to wake the three of them. Besides, the prodigies have all entered the dreamscape now; going over at this moment might affect this test!"

"Therefore, I think we should just leave it like this!"

"What are your opinions?" After the Phoenix race Demon Emperor finished speaking, he looked at the others.

Kongkong Yao Di said: "I agree with the Phoenix race Demon Emperor's words!"

"I agree too!"

"This Emperor also agrees!"

Before long, more than a dozen Demon Emperors agreed.

Just kidding, there is competition among Demon Emperors; sometimes, others can't wait for your state of mind to be broken!

As for the human Zhao Xiangdu, he is a servant of the Phoenix race, so naturally, whatever the Phoenix race says goes!

"Amitabha..." The Buddha Emperor had no choice; he couldn't overcome the majority, so he could only helplessly chant a Buddha name, praying in his heart for the Buddha to protect them and not let his Wang Shixiong get entangled in too much mortal karma.

"Clang... clang... clang..."

The red-hot iron block just taken out of the furnace was quickly placed on an iron table.

A young man with his upper body bare swung a black iron hammer with his powerful right arm and smashed it fiercely onto the freshly forged iron block.

Once!

Twice!

Three times!

Sparks of iron glowing with golden light bounced everywhere.

"Don't move your legs, don't sway below the waist!"

"When forging iron, you use the strength from your waist!"

"Hey... that's right!"

"Isn't that much simpler?"

"Does it save effort?"

Drops of sweat fell from the youth's face. He panted and said: "Yes, Master, this is much better..."

"Hahaha..." The Master beside him, wearing coarse linen clothes and also bare-chested, picked up a pitch-black rag and was about to walk forward.

A crisp voice sounded from behind: "Dad... what are you doing?"

"How long has it been since this rag was washed? Aren't you disgusted by the dirt?"

"Stop, let me wipe the sweat for Brother Pingsheng!"

A young girl in a green dress walked out from the room behind, holding a wooden basin containing half a basin of clear water and a clean white towel.

Her slightly rough hands picked up the towel, wrung it twice, and then she happily held it high to wipe the sweat from He Pingsheng's face and neck.

"Brother Pingsheng, are you cooler now?" The girl smiled slightly, her beauty enough to topple cities.

"Hmm, hmm, hmm..." He Pingsheng looked back at the girl, nodded with a satisfied look, and said: "Much cooler!"

"It's so comfortable when Jiaojiao wipes it!"

The old blacksmith beside them laughed loudly and imitated He Pingsheng, saying: "It's so comfortable when Jiaojiao wipes it!"

Jiaojiao's face turned red, and she said: "Disgusting, Dad, you're terrible, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"Sigh..." The old master shook his head and said: "Your dad is deaf, I didn't say anything just now, you must have heard wrong!"

"Pfft..." Jiaojiao almost burst out laughing, but after a few breaths, she straightened up and asked: "Dad... the things requisitioned by the imperial court this time, should be almost done, right?"

Blacksmith Kong nodded and said: "Almost!"

"In two more days, this batch of iron goods can be handed over!"

"After handing them over, we can live our lives peacefully. At least for the next half year, we don't have to worry about these damn things!"

"Oh, right... after the iron goods are handed over, you two should hold the wedding!"

"Invite the neighbors to a meal and make it lively!"

As soon as Blacksmith Kong finished speaking, He Pingsheng and Jiaojiao both turned red in the face.

But both of them had joy on their faces.

This was a small border town of the Great Song Kingdom, located at the junction of the Great Song Kingdom and the northern Guifang Kingdom.

Vast Gobi, desolate heaven and earth.

Blacksmith Kong had been forging iron since he was a child. When he was young, he responded to the imperial court's call and came from the heartland of the Song Kingdom to this border town to forge iron specifically for the officials. This way, he could not only get three hundred acres of wasteland but also be exempted from year-round corvée labor.

Their family had lived in this small town called Maye Town for more than twenty years.

Blacksmith Kong's wife died early, and he only had this one daughter.

Five or six years ago, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child drifted to the border and was taken in by the kind Blacksmith Kong as an apprentice, following him to forge iron and helping to manage the three hundred acres of wasteland during busy farming seasons. Blacksmith Kong had no son, so he raised He Pingsheng as half a son.

Over the years, through many winters and summers.

Blacksmith Kong found that He Pingsheng not only had a good character but was also hardworking and capable, and his daughter liked him, so he promised his daughter Jiaojiao to this apprentice.

It was just that they hadn't married yet.

Seeing that the two children were no longer young, and his daughter was becoming more and more beautiful, there were more and more people around with malicious intentions.

Blacksmith Kong felt it was time to hold a wedding for the two.

Once married, he believed that some people with ideas would calm down.

"Pingsheng, go take a break!" Old Man Kong waved his hand: "I'll handle the rest!"

"Okay!" He Pingsheng said: "Thank you, Master!"

"Thank you, Dad!" Jiaojiao also laughed along.

Old Man Kong curled his lip: "You feel sorry for him, but don't you feel sorry for your dad?"

"I'm very tired too, you know?"

Jiaojiao blushed, clenched her hands into fists, and pushed Old Man Kong from behind, saying: "Oh, Dad... when Brother Pingsheng and I get married, I'll let him do all the heavy work, and you can enjoy your retirement!"

"The two of us will let you live a comfortable old age, okay?"

Blacksmith Kong was overjoyed and said: "That's more like it!"
